Six Traits Writing is a systematic approach for looking at writing one part at a time. Since writing is such a complicated activity, this approach helps many people break down the task and understand it better.
El método de Seis Peculiaridades o Rasgos de la Escritura se enfoca en enseñar y practicar las partes de la escritura una a una hasta llegar a unificarlas en la escritura de párrafos de excelencia. La destreza de una escritura eficiente requiere tiempo y dedicación. Este método encamina a los estudiantes a escalar cada peldaño poco a poco hasta llegar a la cima. AGASSIZ SCHOOL KINDERGARTEN COURSE OF STUDY SCHOOL YEAR 2009-2010 This syllabus is an outline of the skills taught in kindergarten. Our English Language Arts program, developed by Reading Street, is designed to help students engage in a journey of discovery. Children learn about themselves, their surroundings, their community and the changes they go through as part of their growth and change. The themes are: Unit 1All Together Now
How do we live, work, and play together? Unit 2Animal Live Here
Where do animals live? Unit 3Watch Me Change
How do people, plants, and animals grows? Unit 4Lets Explore
Where will our adventures take us? Unit 5Going Places
How do people get from here to there? Unit 6Building Our Houses
How do homes help us survive and enjoy life?
Some of the program components include big books, small books, books on tape, print awareness, phonics (relationship of letters and sounds) and phonemic awareness activities (rhyme, words, syllables). Some of the teaching is whole-group work. In other instances, there is small-group instruction and independent practice. Children are tested three times a year (Fall, Winter and Spring). In the fall we test them in letter naming fluency, initial sound fluency and comprehension.
Kindergarten parents can also expect a Kindergarten Report Card two times a year (Winter and Spring). Students are evaluated in the following areas: Language Arts Standard- Speaking and Listening
Standard – Language Use
Standard – Beginning Reading
Standard – Responding to Literature
Standard – Writing Mathematics Strand – Number Sense
Strand – Patterns and Relationships
Strand – Measurement
Strand – Data
Strand – Geometry
Strand – Problem Solving Social Development Following rules and routines in the classroom.
Interacting productively and engaging in learning with others.
Negotiating conflicts and reaching shared resolutions. There is a huge link between attendance and student performance.
Good attendance helps students succeed. Poor attendance make students fail.
Mathematics
Our curriculum is called Investigations in Number, Data and Space. As students explore mathematical ideas, they work in small groups, using a variety of materials such as blocks, tiles, cubes, and counters. Students are encouraged to express their mathematical thinking through talking, drawing and writing.
Kindergarten Math Curriculum Units and Benchmarks Unit 1 Who is in school today? - Classroom Routines and Materials
This unit introduces the processes (using and caring for materials), structures (Math Workshop) and materials (pattern blocks, counters), that will be important features of math class during the school year. It also introduces the following math routines: taking attendance, using the calendar to count and keep track of times and events, counting sets of objects, and collecting and discussing data about the class.
Unit 2 Counting and Comparing - Measurement and the Number System
Benchmarks: 1. Count a set of up to 10 objects. 2. Decide which object is longer. 3. Compare two quantities up to 10 to see which is greater
Unit 3 What comes next? – Patterns and Functions
Benchmarks: 1. Copy, construct, and extend simple repeating patterns. 2. Identify the unit of a repeating pattern
Unit 4 Measuring and Counting – Measurement and the Number System
Benchmarks: 1. Measure the length of an object by lining up multiple units 2. Count a set of 15 objects 3. Figure out what is one more or one fewer in a number
Unit 5 Make a Shape, Build a Block – 2-D (e.g., rhombus, trapezoid, hexagon, square, triangle, rectangles) and 3-D Geometry (e.g., triangular prism, rectangular prism, cone)
Benchmarks: 1. Describe the overall size, shape, function, and/or features of familiar 2-D and 3-D shapes 2. Construct 2-D and 3-D shapes 3. Make 2-D and 3-D shapes by combining shapes
Unit 6 How many do you have? – Addition, Subtraction, and the Number System
Benchmarks: 1. Write the numbers of to 20 2. Count a set up to 20 3. Combine two small quantities (solving story problems)
Unit 7 Sorting and Surveys – Data Analysis
Benchmarks: 1. Represent a set of data 2. Use data to solve a problem 3. Sort a set of objects according to their attributes
HOMEWORK: Kindergarten is hard work for teachers, students and families. The success of our children depends on the relationship and the support that we give to each other. This includes homework.
